This book reconsiders global problems such as energy and the arms race, as well as more recent issues like cultural identity,
communications and information. Attention is primarily focused on human problems and potential, rather than on material constraints
to growth. The analysis places particular importance on new forms of learning and education, for individuals and especially
for society, as indispensable for laying the groundwork to deal with global issues, and for bridging the gap between the complexity
and risks of current global issues and our presently inadequately developed capacity to face up to them. This is the first
Club of Rome report to authors from socialist and Third World countries as well as from the West

Through automation and miniaturisation, microelectronics has vast potential for thrusting society into a new phase. It promises
to revolutionise the information handling aspects of our lives. But to gain maximum benefit from this breakthrough, microelectronics
must be harnessed to society's needs. To help this process a multidisciplinary group of authors has prepared a report to the
Club of Rome on the likely impact of microelectronics on our futures

"As we dig, drill, and excavate to unearth the planet's mineral bounty, the resources we exploit from ores, veins, seams,
and wells are gradually becoming exhausted. Mineral treasures that took millions, or even billions, of years to form are now
being squandered in just centuries--or sometimes just decades. Will there come a time when we actually run out of minerals?
Debates already soar over how we are going to obtain energy without oil, coal, and gas. But what about the other mineral losses
we face? Without metals, and semiconductors, how are we going to keep our industrial system running? Without mineral fertilizers
and fuels, how are we going to produce the food we need? Ugo Bardi delivers a sweeping history of the mining industry, starting
with its humble beginning when our early ancestors started digging underground to find the stones they needed for their tools.
He traces the links between mineral riches and empires, wars, and civilizations, and shows how mining in its various forms
came to be one of the largest global industries. He also illustrates how the gigantic mining machine is now starting to show
signs of difficulties. The easy mineral resources, the least expensive to extract and process, have been mostly exploited
and depleted. There are plenty of minerals left to extract, but at higher costs and with increasing difficulties. The effects
of depletion take different forms and one may be the economic crisis that is gripping the world system. And depletion is not
the only problem. Mining has a dark side--pollution--that takes many forms and delivers many consequences, including climate
change. The world we have been accustomed to, so far, was based on cheap mineral resources and on the ability of the ecosystem
to absorb pollution without generating damage to human beings. Both conditions are rapidly disappearing. Having thoroughly
plundered planet Earth, we are entering a new world. Bardi draws upon the world's leading minerals experts to offer a compelling
glimpse into that new world ahead."--Publisher information

Indicators used to direct ecomonic policy (GDP, national income, etc.) are based on a number of factors but nowhere in their
calculation is there an acknowledgement of the degradation of natural resources. The numbers may look good, but continued
deterioration of the environment is leading us closer to crises; meanwhile, policymakers and the public are basing decisions
on dangerously incomplete information. In Taking Nature into Account, a number of the world's leading experts make the ethical,
historical, economic, and ecological arguments for including environmental factors when measuring fiscal health. Initiated
by the Club of Rome (an international group of influential businesspeople, statesmen, and scientists), and written in cooperation
with the World Wide Fund for Nature, the report reviews existing methodologies and makes recommendations for adjusting the
way we think about and measure the economy

The first thorough audit of privatizations from around the world. It outlines the historical emergence of globalization and
liberalization, and from analyses of over 50 case studies of best- and worst-case experiences of privatization, it provides
guidance for policy and action that will restore and maintain the right balance between the powers and responsibilities of
the state, the private sector and the increasingly important role of civil society. [Publisher web site]

"The 21st century will see monumental change. Either the human race will use its knowledge and skills and change the way it
interacts with the environment, or the environment will change the way it interacts with its inhabitants. In the first case,
the focus of this book, we would see our sophisticated understanding in areas such as physics, chemistry, engineering, biology,
planning, commerce, business and governance accumulated over the last 1,000 years brought to bear on the challenge of dramatically
reducing our pressure on the environment. The second case however is the opposite scenario, involving the decline of the planet's
ecosystems until they reach thresholds where recovery is not possible, and following which we have no idea what happens. For
instance, if we fail to respond to Sir Nicolas Stern's call to meet appropriate stabilisation trajectories for greenhouse
gas emissions, and we allow the average temperature of our planets surface to increase by 4-6 degrees Celsius, we will see
staggering changes to our environment, including rapidly rising sea level, withering crops, diminishing water reserves, drought,
cyclones, floods ... allowing this to happen will be the failure of our species, and those that survive will have a deadly
legacy. In this update to the 1997 International Best Seller, Factor Four, Ernst von Weizsäcker again leads a team to present
a compelling case for sector wide advances that can deliver significant resource productivity improvements over the coming
century. The purpose of this book is to inspire hope and to then inform meaningful action in the coming decades to respond
to the greatest challenge our species has ever faced ₆ that of living in harmony with our planet and its other inhabitants."--Publisher's
